6 Reasons why we love ‘Beauty and the Beast’

Walt Disney Pictures continues the live-action adaptations of its animated library with Beauty and the Beast, opening in the US March 17. The beloved fairy tale has long captured the imagination of the LGBTQ community, which identifies with the fable’s underlying themes of alienation, prejudice and following one’s heart at any cost. The latest version, which stars Emma Watson, under the direction of Bill Condon, has more than one passing connection to gay culture.

Here’s a look at some of the reasons, big and small, we love Beauty and the Beast.

1. It’s a musical

To begin with the obvious, part of the reason Beauty and the Beast captured a gay audience on both stage and screen has to do with its music. As penned by the duo of Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman, the songs from Beauty and the Beast have since become standards, not just at Disney theme parks, but all over the world. The lyrics scribed by Ashman have a certain honesty to them. Not only do they record the feelings of unexpected love in a song like “Something There,” but they capture the horror of persecution in “Kill the Beast.” That the new film comes from openly-gay director Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning creative force behind Gods and Monsters and musicals Chicago and Dreamgirls should add to audience anticipation.

2. It’s about an outsider

Even though he lives in a palace, the Beast has a rough life. Not only does he have to deal with the curse of an enchantress and trying to find true love, he has to deal with hairballs. Seriously though, a queer audience can understand the isolation and loneliness the Beast suffers. Many of us grew up fearing we’d never be loved for who we really are. Moreover, our transgendered siblings can especially identify with the Beast, and the feeling that the body doesn’t match the soul within. Likewise, Belle grows up as an outsider—an intelligent, educated woman who wants to do more with her life than spend it aging in her village. Which brings us to…

3. It’s a proto feminist story

Belle holds a special place in the Disney Animation canon, in part because she’s not a princess by birth and in part because she’s feminist hero. Belle assumes the role of a leader, and subdues her fear with raw courage. She does not hold selfish motives in going to the Beast’s castle; rather, she sacrifices herself to save her father. Her love of books also deserves mention here. As an educated woman in the 19^th century, Belle gets shunned by her villager neighbors. The sick thing—women still suffer for expressing thought and opinion today. Belle provides women (and men) everywhere with a positive example: she never backs down from doing the right thing, or from speaking her mind.

4. It’s about forbidden love

Modern analysts, especially in the wake of the Disney incarnation of Beauty and the Beast, tend to overlook some of the stories veiled elements such as Belle and the Beast falling in a forbidden love—something we know all too well. The attraction that exists between the two characters goes far beyond the physical. Their love grows from an emotional connection, despite their physical forms. Gay people can identify—our identity isn’t just about physical attraction, it’s about falling in love.

5. We all know a Gaston

And now a moment of truth: we all know a Gaston. We see him at the gym, at the club, or jogging down the street—the man who spends all his time absorbed by his own looks, or the woman obsessed with perfecting her body and showing off to passers-by, all without giving a thought to, well, anything. Gaston’s vanity provides a powerful counterpoint to the Beast’s plight, but it also reminds viewers of the dangers of focusing too much on the physical. To land the perfect mate, queer and straight folk alike must focus on bettering their souls rather than their bodies. Belle falls in love with the Beast’s gentle spirit, his thoughts and his character. Gaston, meanwhile, while inflaming the lusts of the women (and frankly, men too), does nothing to actually connect with anyone, other than his own reflection. The Gastons of the world provide a kind of eye candy that rots the heart and mind. Though fun in small doses, as Beauty and the Beast points out, Gaston’s presence ultimately destroys more than it nurtures.

6. It’s fabulous to look at

Gay folk tend to have an eye for the opulent, and Beauty and the Beast, especially in a live-action incarnation, has no shortage of pretty or fabulous eye candy. From the period costumes to the gilded walls of the Beast’s palace, the story offers production designers a chance to run wild with imagination. The music helps augment the opportunity for crazy visuals, courtesy of some wild production numbers like “Be Our Guest” which afford an even greater chance to include outrageous design. Of course, the visuals would have no impact without a great story.

How wonderful then that the film has a moving plot to go with its majestic imagery.

Kellyanne Conway says Obama may have spied on Trump through his microwave at Trump Tower

Add this one to Kellyanne Conway’s greatest hits, right between the #alternativefacts and “Buy Ivanka’s stuff!”

While speaking to reporter Mike Kelly during an interview at her home in Alpine, Conway was asked about those bogus claims Trump made last week on Twitter when he accused President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during last year’s presidential election:

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

When asked yesterday by Kelly about Trump’s insane allegations, Conway responded by saying something equally, if not more, insane: “What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other. You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of ways.”

Then she added, “Microwaves that turn into cameras. We know this is a fact of modern life.”

Microwaves that turn into cameras? What?

Earlier this morning, Conway was asked about those bizarre microwave claims by Chris Cuomo on New Day. Things got rather heated rather quickly.

“Chris, I’m not Inspector Gadget,” Conway quipped. “I don’t believe people are using their microwave to spy on the Trump campaign. However, I’m not in the job of having evidence. That’s what investigations are for.”

At least this much is true. Her job isn’t the share evidence. It’s to spew #alternativefacts to distract everyone’s attention from the truth.

Moving on.

A short while later, Conway graced the set of Good Morning America, where she told George Stephanopoulos, “The answer is I don’t have any evidence [about Trump’s wiretapping claims] and I’m very happy that the House intelligence committee are investigating.”

So, just so everyone’s on the same page, Obama may have put a camera in Trump’s microwave, though Kellyanne personally doesn’t believe he did, but she’s still glad the government is now spending countless taxpayer dollars to look into it.

Cue a new batch of memes.

Here’s Why New EPA Chief Pruitt is ‘Absolutely Wrong’ About CO2 and Climate Change

Not long ago, this would’ve been a remarkable statement from the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency:

“There’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact [of carbon dioxide], so I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to … global warming.”

But those were indeed the words of new EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, speaking Thursday on the CNBC show Squawk Box.

Pruitt’s statement is roughly the scientific equivalent of saying he doesn’t believe that gravity is a primary contributor to making things fall. Although by itself, it was no big surprise — his record of denying the reality and significance of human-induced climate change has been well known since his days battling federal environmental regulations as Oklahoma’s attorney general. His boss, President Donald Trump, too has often dismissed climate change as a hoax.

But Pruitt’s statement this past week matters hugely, because he and Trump are now positioned to reverse the US government’s efforts to combat the global climate crisis, with the first specific plans expected in an executive order from the president in the coming week.

In other words, Pruitt’s comments are not exactly news, but they are important to report, as well as to put in context — to remind ourselves what we know about CO2 and the Earth’s climate, and how we know it.

For that we got in touch with Barry Bickmore, a professor of geosciences at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and, it’s worth noting, a Republican.

‘Basic physics’

“The first thing we know,” Bickmore says, “is that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which slows down the rate heat can escape from the Earth to space.

“So the fact is — and this is just basic physics — if you put more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it will warm things up. [And] we know that burning fossil fuels puts more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.”

We can also measure how much the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased, Bickmore says, and correlate that with changes in the global temperature.

Doing that shows that the two are closely linked — as CO2 levels have gone up, temperatures have gone up. Basic physics predict this would happen; careful and widespread real-world data confirms that it has.

That’s not to say the progression has been in lockstep. CO2 is only one of many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and nature also plays a role in changing the levels of those gases along with human activity.

“It’s a complicated system,” Bickmore says, “so pinning things like that exactly [is] not going to be possible all the time.”

Pruitt and others who reject the well-established science of the climate system point to this complexity and uncertainty to suggest that we can’t draw any conclusions about the role of increased CO2 levels in altering the Earth’s climate.

Bickmore says such claims are “disingenuous.”

We can establish a range of probable impacts, he says, “and the probability that humans are contributing less than half to the recent climate change is probably less than 1 percent.”

In other words, there’s a more than 99 percent likelihood that the CO2 humans have put into the atmosphere is responsible for at least half of the planet’s recent warming.

Pruitt’s assertions are ‘absolutely wrong’

This basic understanding of the link between CO2 and climate change is almost universally accepted by scientists in the field.

So, Bickmore says, Pruitt’s assertions that there is “tremendous disagreement” about the impact of CO2, and that it’s not a primary contributor to global warming, are “absolutely wrong.”

This, in a nutshell, is what we know about CO2 and climate.

As for how we know it — which is important to establish at a time when basic scientific knowledge is being challenged from all sides — the conclusions are supported by what scientists call “multiple lines of evidence.”

Among these, Bickmore says, are thermometers in place around the world — in some cases establishing a surface temperature record going back more than 150 years; buoys that measure ocean temperatures; and satellites that estimate changes in atmospheric temperatures.

“We can also go and look at past changes in the climate,” Bickmore says, through things like ocean and lakebed sediments and glacial ice, which can contain traces of atmospheric gases and other clues to ancient climates going back millennia.

Scientists have even been able to learn how much solar radiation — heat — the sun was producing in past epochs, and account for how that would’ve affected the global climate.

“So we can pin down the major players way back into the past, too,” Bickmore says. “And it’s really clear that carbon dioxide isn’t the only player in the game, but it’s always been one of the big ones.”

Science vs. ideology

Bickmore himself didn’t always accept all this evidence. Although he’s a geoscientist, climate systems aren’t his primary field of study. And he says he brought an inherent skepticism to the field.

“I’m a lifelong Republican, and conservatives generally — our knee-jerk reaction to a thing like this is, ‘oh, they’re probably overblowing this,’” he says.

“But once I started looking into it, what I found out was, there was a lot of evidence piled up on one side, and basically a lot of hot air on the other — some really, really bad arguments,” Bickmore says.

“Whenever I checked, I found out that the critics of the mainstream science were almost always being really disingenuous. That’s probably the most polite way to say it.”

So Bickmore’s personal beliefs and values colored his initial engagement with the topic of climate change, but not his ultimate conclusions. The science spoke for itself.

Which sets him apart from Scott Pruitt and most of his fellow conservatives in a time when acceptance of the reality of climate change and the role of humans in causing it skews sharply along ideological and party lines.

Bickmore says he’s seen this trend developing since at least the 1980s, when the Republican Party began allying itself more with conservative Christians who reject much of our modern scientific understanding of the world. He says it also stems from the same philosophical position that prompted his initial skepticism of the dangers of the human impact on the climate system.

“The knee-jerk reaction of a conservative will always be to downplay problems like this,” Bickmore says,” because if your ideology is that you should try a more hands-off approach to governing, then a problem like this, that requires a lot of cooperation to address, is going to be really inconvenient for that ideology.

“But it’s gotten to the point where people, just out of hand, instead of saying, ‘we don’t need to do as much as these other people are saying to solve the problem,’ they’re saying ‘there is no problem.’”

But, he says, fellow conservatives like Pruitt and Trump “are taking a terrible, terrible risk by just pretending there is no problem” with climate change.

Watch Prof. Barry Bickmore trace his journey from climate change “skeptic” to outspoken advocate of mainstream climate science.

Gossip Girls and The Men Who Love To See Them Hate Each Other On ‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ [RECAP]

It’s hard to say coming out of episode two of Feud: Bette and Joan what exactly we’re supposed to be feeling. For a show with so much to say (and say and say and say) about how Hollywood and society pits two women against each other, it is strange to place the entire message within a series designed to delight in every nasty comment and bitchy moment.

The second installment (“The Other Woman”) doesn’t pack the same wallop as the premiere, and a lot of that has to do with the shifting power dynamics. Feud is at its best when it focuses on titans Bette and Joan using their wit, grit and animosity toward one another to wage a deeply personal war that says more about artistry versus celebrity than it does women’s lib. Where it starts to lose its zing is when it plays out the societal forces working against the women of the time. It’s not that those elements didn’t heavily influence this story, it’s just Ryan Murphy comments about women in Hollywood with all the nuance of a Bernie bro tweeting about International Women’s Day.

The persistent proselytizing makes these powerful women pawns, which surely was true to an extent, but it seems endlessly at odds with the glee with which we’re supposed to devour their devilish behavior.

“The writing doesn’t begin to capture the way women get under each other’s skin,” we heard Joan critiquing Aldrich’s Baby Jane script in last night’s episode. When it comes to the ways women wage war against one another, it seems Feud wants to relish in the how, but can’t quite nail the why.

Which brings us to “The Other Woman,” an episode that folds in so many real and imagined threats between its women, it’s basically a phyllo dough of “Bad Blood.” (Sorry, I’ve been watching a lot of The Great British Baking Show.)

Let’s put on our best feathered hats and recount what went down in last night’s episode.

There’s a new actress on set, and she’s that “sexy neighbor girl” alluded to in the premiere. In case the jealousy wasn’t already palpable, she introduces herself to Joan with “Miss Crawford, can I please have your autograph? It’s for my grandmother — she’s loved you since she was a kid!”

Resisting the urge to slap her on the spot for that read, Joan sidles up to director Bob Aldrich and demands she gets fired. For now, Bob likes to think this isn’t a Feudocracy, it’s a Feudtatorship, and he’s not bowing to Crawford just yet. So, she enlists the aid of her co-star, Bette, baiting her with the threat that once Aldrich sleeps with the young ingenue, she’ll suddenly start stealing more and more scenes. That’s enough to get Bette to threaten to walk off set. Bob can’t say no to their united front, and the neighbor girl is shown the door.

Of course, this show isn’t called RuPaul’s Best Friend Race: Bette and Joan (though we would totally watch that). So, after promising to release the film to more theaters, Jack Warner convinces Bob to stoke the rivalry between his leading ladies so the film maintains its buzz.

If anyone knows about feeding the fury between Bette and Joan, it’s Warner. He signed Crawford on at a deep discount and used her to try to control Bette back in the day. He offered Joan all of Bette’s scraps, including the Oscar-winning role in Mildred Pierce, sewing the seeds of the rivalry we’re seeing playing out now.

Bob shares his discomfort with this whole situation to his wife, Harriet. She’s heard her own fair share of gossip about Bob’s “other woman” (get it? GET IT?!), and, even though he says it’s all bullshit, she reminds him “It hurts just the same, and you should consider that before you spread gossip of your own.”

Unfortunately, Bob’s between a rock and a hard place. Not unlike the hard place on Joan’s chest, which he describes to gossip columnist Hedda Hopper in great detail, telling her Davis is annoyed with Joan’s falsies. He even tells her Bette is worried about falling on them in the beach scene and chipping a tooth.

When Joan reads this in Hedda’s column, she’s obviously furious. Despite Bette’s denial that she spoke ill to Hedda, Crawford still phones a rival columnist to talk smack about Bette on the record. Their temporary truce is officially over, and there might not be much of Hollywood left standing once they’re through.

The mudslinging in the papers is only one part of the equation. Bob also needs to further their resentment by making them jealous of the other’s relationship with him. He meets Bette on a Saturday to work on the iconic “I’m Writing A Letter To Daddy” performance. We see a softer side of Davis here, unsure if her bold take on Baby Jane is brilliantly twisted or a misguided joke. Aldrich assures her what she’s doing is Oscar worthy, and the two share an intimate moment choreographing the scene.

Even without TMZ and social media, word still travels fast about their little rendezvous, and it’s enough for Joan to feel mighty threatened. She phones Aldrich in the middle of the night, cooking up a story about her lover, Peter, leaving her because she’s too focused on the film. He rushes over, and she attempts to sleep with him (like they did on their last film together). He’s not having it. He tells her he’s not sleeping with Davis, and her whole charade comes crashing down when Peter returns unexpectedly. He didn’t leave her; he was heading out of town but a road got washed out. Aldrich excuses himself from this drama, leaving a furious Crawford to send Peter packing for real.

She won’t be lonely for long, because Hedda arrives the next day, and she’s irate that Joan ran to a rival columnist with her Davis dirt. It seems Hedda played a heavy hand in getting Joan back on the map when her career was faltering. Joan masterfully redirects her rage, playing to Hedda’s heart. She confesses that she’s broke, and she needs Hedda’s help to make sure this picture earns her an Oscar (and another few years of work).

As Joan secures a powerful ally, Bette is having a harder time coping. Besides being a little unsure of herself when it comes to her character, she’s also feeling adrift as an aging actress. First, she meets her love interest for the film, and he’s not the dashing leading man she may have hoped for. (She’s paired with heavyset homosexual, Victor Buono. He becomes much more important in future episodes.) What really sends her over the edge though is seeing her daughter B.D. flirt with all the boys in the crew.

When mother and daughter get home, B.D. lays into Bette with the kind of blunt-force dialogue that could spoil a whole scene if Sarandon didn’t sell the punches so well. B.D. viciously rips into her mother about not aging gracefully or accepting that her time to shine was over, not just as an actress, but as a woman.

The exchange leaves Davis seriously shook. It leads to yet another late-night call to Aldrich, and the director speeds over. He assures her she’s doing excellent work, and the two share a really tender evening openly discussing their fears and insecurities. Yes, it ends in sex, but it’s not manipulative, like Joan would do. It feels sincere.

That doesn’t make it any easier to swallow when Aldrich creeps into bed just before his alarm goes off to start another day. His wife stares blankly ahead with her back turned to him, likely imagining which other woman will come calling next.

Best Barbs:

“Forget the little daily gifts, Lucille, I’m going to be much too busy working to shop for anything in return.” — Bette Davis

“Don’t fool yourself, even you’re not man enough to satisfy two women.”  — Harriet to Bob Aldrich

“What’s your name sweetheart?” “Sylvia.” “F*ck off, Sylvia.” — Bette Davis expertly dispatching a reporter waiting outside the studio.

“There’s so much ham up there I’m going to have to go my rabbi this afternoon and atone.”  — Jack Warner watching Baby Jane dailies.

“Ms. Davis looks old enough to be my mother. One look at her face and you’d think she hasn’t had a happy day or night in her life.” — Joan Crawford on-the-record with the gossip rags.

“You don’t like it because you can’t wear one anymore.” — B.D. theorizing why Bette can’t stand the song “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini.”

Round 2 goes to: Joan Crawford, again. She played Aldrich, she played Davis, she played Hedda. Bette is no slouch, but I’m not sure she realizes the extent of Joan’s cunning just yet. Ms. Crawford may be winning these manipulative battles, but Davis’ tenacity and talent could be enough to win the war.
